Im telling every body with an ear but praise be to Jesus christ my savior
my husband is infantry in afgaistan i talked to him to day and he said yeasturdy he was to be tasked out as a mine sweeper I.E. stick your knife in the ground and pull out the I.E.D sweeper. OMG right well as of this morning he is now working two ppl under a general for a while PHew thats a kind of thing that makes you want to testify
Quoting cocoroo:
Praise the Lord, I have seen the Light! Can I get an "AMEN"?
AMEN!
Maybe I read the OP wrong but running around, ramming your knife into the ground, looking for bombs just seems like something you'd see in a cartoon. A Cartoon that doesn't end well...
Indeed - no more Roadrunner for this one...

Ya I agree.. I asked dh about it he thought it was strange. Plus if her dh is two people under a general doesn't that mean he's working w/ headquarters? I'm not necessarily calling bull shit because the army does strange things.. dh's first tour was a shit show he did bridges, ied's, building's and all sorts of things that he doesn't like to talk about, but the situation itself seems very strange. Seems like after all this time they'd be a little more organized (bahahaha ya right :)
Quoting chrlstoncharmed:It sounds like YOU are the one who has no idea. You're being fed a load of bullshit. Think about it ... do you know what the ramifications would be if the scenario you described was actually happening?
Quoting curious89:
you have no idea the dumb shit the army makes infantry soldiers do yes this happens and the last guy who did it got blown up. They didnt want to call eod every time
Quoting cocoroo:
Oh, and I call bullshit on your 11B dh going out there with a knife to sweep for boom booms.
You must not know exactly what your husband does, because that isnt infantrys job. That is EOD's job.

I feel like catching the spirit and dancing down the aisles to drink some poison while speaking in tongues.
